Awareness Through Movement® in the Sunflower Centre, Brockley 81 Tressilian Road, Hilly Fields, Brockley, SE4 1XZ www.thesunflowercentre.co.uk Cost: £50 (£40 concessions) Jaw, Throat and Ribs: Release Your Breathing Sunday 5th February 2012, 12pm - 6pm The jaw, throat and root of the tongue are often areas of both conscious and unconscious muscular tension. Adulthood requires the steady suppression of much of the anger, frustration, fear, and sadness that we feel, but emotions are not so easy to extinguish, and chronic holding patterns develop throughout the respiratory system, both internal and external, leading to immobility in the face, neck, chest and abdomen. This workshop will feature lessons designed to free up your jaw, throat and ribcage in order to greatly improve the fullness, depth and ease of your breathing, allowing you greater emotional and vocal expressiveness, and increased physical vitality. Fully Functioning Core Muscles: Accessing Inner Strength Sunday 19th February 2012, 12pm - 6pm In this workshop we will stimulate and re-educate the deeper muscles of the torso, connecting your limbs to your natural power source and encouraging greater internal stability without loss of elasticity. You will experience better balance, more fluid coordination, improved stamina and increasing postural self-awareness. This is a great day for anyone concerned with loss of vitality, physical energy or posture issues. Flexible Spine, Younger Posture Sunday 4th March 2012, 12pm - 6pm This workshop will feature lessons designed to increase mobility and decrease tension and discomfort in your whole spine, increasing your flexibility from your neck to your lumbar spine and greatly improving both your stamina and your mobility in sitting, standing and walking.

Ease & Mobility Neck, Shoulders & Upper Back Sunday 18th March 2012, 12pm - 6pm This workshop will feature lessons designed to increase flexibility and encourage more fluid movement in your upper spine, neck, shoulders and rib cage.
